Chiang Mai, February 2

Chiang Mai is a large city with lots of things to do, places to visit and things to buy. We had planned to stay here only four days but have ended up here seven days.

We hired a songtow driver for the day to take us to the handicraft shops. It cost 140 Baht, $4.20 US, for the day.

Our Songtow driver's car. He was a great man. He didn't speak much English but he got us where we wanted to go. 

Visited an umbrella making factory.

One of the umbrella painters painted a design on my pants.
I had my iPhone and back pack painted, 50 bhat each.



A lacquer wear factory. The items are made of bamboo and then painted and laquered.

Charlie and our driver trying to figure out where we needed to go.

We passed on the fried silk worms, grasshoppers, and crickets for lunch.
